July 26, 2010 – It has been one of those weeks where so much has happened and all of it has me in a great mood. From launching a new client website to new things happening around the farm and with the horses to winning an award… it’s been a week of feel good emotions (or maybe it is just the lack of sleep from yet another early horse show morning). And, how can you not smile when you see kids having such a great time with their horse (Belle makes a great backscratcher 
) Read the rest of this entry »

June 22, 2010 – Summer has finally arrived but the summer weather, and summer plans, started long before the official season formally arrived. It was wonderful weather, for the most part, last week which has given the girls and horses an opportunity to get in some more in-the-saddle time. They didn’t get off the property last week (they… being the horses, that is) but they each had a good amount of time here to do some work (in between rainy episodes). Read the rest of this entry »
June 7, 2010 – It has been a really hot spring here in southern Ontario but last week we finally got some rain and the grass and plants are loving it. I am not so sure that the horses like it. There are no bugs biting them when it’s raining but do they like to stand out there with the rain soaking them? I imagine that when the temperatures are high, they welcome the rain but what about other times? To me, they just don’t look like they are enjoying it. Read the rest of this entry »
June 1, 2010 – Phew… what a hot week it was around here last week! It was one of those kinds of weeks when you walk out the door and wham!… a wall of heat hits ya. Yuck! We usually have nice temperatures in May but this past week we even had heat alerts… it was sweltering. Is this a sign of things to come? Is this summer going to be a scorcher? I hope not and imagine the horses hope it isn’t either… the poor things were sweating just standing in the paddock. Read the rest of this entry »
May 17, 2010 – We started off this past week on the right foot and it just got better and better. One of those weeks where there were lots of smiles plus horses and kids that make you so proud. And friends that you can’t thank enough for all the help and everything they do!
First and foremost, Charlie Trailer Training Update… Charlie finally got on to a trailer last Monday and went for a little ride. Sandra (again… thank you, thank you!) brought her bigger trailer by so we could see if Charlie would get on. It took a little bit of coaxing but he eventually he was on far enough for the butt bar to be put up. When he realized it was there, he jumped around for a few minutes but Randy stayed by his head and calmed him down. Then the ramp went up and he was breathing heavy but we closed it all up and Sandra, Carole and Randy took him for a ride around the block (which is actually about a 10 minute ride…LOL) When he got back, he came off pretty quickly and was very sweaty. We were jumping up and down excited for the success. Read the rest of this entry »
April 19, 2010 – What an awesome week we had. Lots of positive things happened this past week which hopefully are a precursor to a wonderful summer of horses, horse shows and farm life. And yes… I had my camera handy for most of it so took lots of pics and videos. Let’s get started (and let me apologize for the length of this post… lots to tell you)… Read the rest of this entry »
April 11, 2010 – What a busy, busy week we had last week. The temperatures cooled right off and was even downright frigid for a couple of days (not to mention the rain), but things are looking nice this week with seasonal temperatures. Anything above freezing keeps the horses happy as they don’t need their blankets. Read the rest of this entry »
March 21, 2010 – What a gorgeous week we had this past week. Warm temperatures and lots of sunshine. I did not want to be in my office, that’s for sure. But alas… work must get done and it was a really busy week. On Wednesday, though, I decided to take the day off and Megan and I went to the farm (Greyden Equestrian Centre) for the day. It was wonderful to spend a day there with our friends. Read the rest of this entry »
March 14, 2010 – Yup… I want spring to officially arrive and I think the horses do to. The ground is not thawed yet but the mild temps and rain this past week are melting the mega snow we had and everything is just a muddy mess. The paddock isn’t too bad but the driveway leads down to the barn so there is quite soft area in front of it and Charlie really doesn’t like it. And the riding area…yuk! It is supposed to be dry and warm for the next 5 days or so and hopefully that will help to dry things up a bit. Read the rest of this entry »
Hubby put a rope on the jolly ball and Charlie loved throwing it around during our first major snowfall of 2009. Read the rest of this entry »
